~A less than serious resumé~
Objective
To show up as and for me, to support the experience of worthiness & wholeness in all humans.
Education
Lots of schools. ;)
BA in Psychology, Magna Cum Laude. (My course load was between one and three classes stretched over several schools and a period of ~9 years.... so there's that...)
Completed a number of programs for yoga instruction but have only registered/certified the first 200 hours and the bulk of my ~teaching is to the car, as I am driving.
Interpersonal Skills
Completed several romantic relationships :D and show great potential for course correction and sustained commitment. Maybe.
Completed Boundaries .101 [remedial] and am in progress with allowing and honoring my existence while communicating effectively from a place of love.
Experience
Direct experience in the field of mental health as a patient of in and out; with various practitioners, approaches, modalities and techniques.
Though I haven't sustained any formal job titles in the past ~13 years, I worked so many small jobs in earlier years that it must in some way amount to a lot of job experience. *smile.* In some way.
Mostly I barter/trade and offer and ask for support... and basically just do shit when I can, because I can. And the willingness of humans to reciprocate in this fashion is pretty unbelievable. (Testament to the between; our capacity for togetherness.)
I often list my occupation [human, otherwise not specified] as "stay at home," and when the receptionist at my doctor's office read this, she proceeded to tell me that staying at home is the hardest and most important job there is, and that she had stayed home with her 3 kids until they went to school.
...I have one kid... and he is in school. (Albeit at home for school in these pandemicky days.)
Summary
All of this to say that I don't really have any titles or badges of honor to uphold or to hold me up.
I fall down a lot. (between us... every day)
And...
I am less afraid to speak about being a walking paradox. About the simultaneous perfection and imperfection of human existence.
~I am grateful for life and also at times wish to leave it.
~I feel both constrained and supported by my marriage and by family.
~I appreciate my body's service to me and also ignore, condemn and mistreat it.
~My body appears lean and muscular and I have struggled with overeating and have muscular atrophy related to chronic pain and tension.
~I am godless, yet strongly connected with what I'd venture to guess is the meaning behind the word, "god."
It's all here, The Good, The Bad and The Human.
And because I know this about myself, I know this about 'the humans', about you.
Our efforts and our mistakes. Our protective coatings, traps and trimmings. Our capacities to evolve and to allow Love.
I want to share from this space of open and in effect, offer the support of knowing that we are all in the 'life thing' together.
